In case you can tell, I don't have a skillet (butIwishIdid!) and so I used a non-stick frying pan.

Step 6: Flip when bubbles come through and don't fill back in (or until the edges look dry, or until right before the smoke alarm goes off. I can't really explain it. You'll get a feel for it if you don't have one already).

Same song and dance as before, add them together and let them sit to become Milk Grossness

Step 2: Milk Grossness, 1 Stick Butter, 1 C Sugar, 1 T Corn Syrup

Combine in a large saucepan, and set on medium heat

Step 3: Wait for it...

Cook, stirring, until it boils, and then continue boiling for 3 minutes

Step 4: 1 t Vanilla, 1 t B. Soda

While still on the stove, add in vanilla & baking soda. Mixture will bubble violently.

Take note of how far up on the whisk this goes, it is doubled from before the soda

Step 5: Stir around for 30 seconds, then remove from heat, and stir every minute (ish) for about... 7 minutes (I'm just telling you what I experienced).

When syrup is ready, it should look more like this:

Pancakes & Syrup

Finally, you've earned it. Plate the pancakes, slather with butter, pour on the syrup, and let the Buttermilk Extravaganza begin!

Enjoy! I know I did!

Survey Says:

Excellent.

And that, dear people who have stuck out what may be my longest post yet, is how you have a Buttermilk Extravaganza, sans Buttermilk. I'm hungry for them again. And if you're skeptical about the whole, as Handsome put it, "Syrup that doesn't come from a tree," let me say that I might not like this variety more than maple syrup, but Imight like it just as well. *GASP*

Enjoying the fact that WW is down so I can't tell how much I've consumed,

I laughed REALLY hard at the butter fail. The pancakes look delicious, and now I'm jealous, and I want to make waffles for dinner tonight. But I'm not sure it's been long enough since I had ribs and fried chicken to justify it.
